Founded in 1998, AmberWave Systems has become a leader in the research, development and licensing of advanced technologies for semiconductor manufacturing.
Realizing that research and development is the lifeblood of industry advancement, AmberWave Systems provides a bridge between promising research within universities around the world and commercialization of the results of that research.
AmberWave Systems is a materials science research company with an intellectual property (IP) business model. By funding and guiding university research, AmberWave Systems is bringing new technology to fruition through patents and technology licensing. In conjunction with its university research projects, AmberWave Systems conducts its own research, development and limited manufacturing in its semiconductor research and fabrication facility in Salem, New Hampshire. In addition, AmberWave Systems collaborates with other technology focused companies to further expand and develop its research.
The company is focused on developing new materials technologies, including ones that will allow semiconductor manufacturers to continue to extend the processing power and economics of silicon, while still using existing manufacturing techniques.
The company’s first development, strained silicon, is the result of more than 15 years of research, and holds the promise of developing chips with faster speeds that consume less power for an incremental manufacturing cost.
Aspect Ratio Trapping (ART), a recent AmberWave invention, is a technology that may open the door to even faster, more powerful chips that could find their way into a wide range of applications, from silicon-based photonics to improved photovoltaic cells. ART allows manufacturers to combine different materials onto a silicon base, forming chips that use light pulses to carry data, similar to fiber optic technology. The result is increased speed of data transmission far faster than today’s systems allow.
AmberWave Systems has assembled a portfolio of more than 150 issued and pending patents. By complementing its IP licenses with a range of manufacturing and technical support services, AmberWave Systems enables licensees to integrate its technology into leading manufacturing processes.
Seventy percent of the company’s employees have technical backgrounds or are dedicated to technology research, working primarily at the Company's corporate headquarters facility in Salem. The company’s 30,000 square-foot facility includes a class-10 clean room, which incorporates state-of-the-art epitaxy and metrology equipment.
